T o-aZZ whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, FRANKLIN APHAiwK, residing at Central Point, in the county of Jackson and State of Oregon, have invented a new and Improved Combined Baby Jumper and Swing, of which the following is a specification.

This invention, which relates to appliances for supporting babies as they learn to walk, and which is a divisional part of my invention as disclosed in my copending application tiled February 23, 1912, Serial No. ($79,383, is more especially designed to serve as a con'ibined baby jumper and swing and also embrace .the features of a high chair.

The object of my invention is to provide an appliance of the general character stated of a simple and economical construction, and easily adjusted for producing a baby juniper, walker, a swing and as av high chair.

With other objects in view that will hereinafter appear, my invention consists in the peculiar construction and novel arrangement of parts all of which will be herein after fully explained, specifically pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention, the parts being arranged for use as a swinging or high chair support for the baby. Fig. 2 is a similar view, the same being shown as a baby jumper or walker. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the saddle or seat portion and the removable tray, the latter being shown as elevated above the saddle rim or edge. Fig. 4 is a detail cross section of the tray taken on the line 4-4 on Fig. 3, the said tray being shown as resting on the saddle edge or riin. the latter being also in Section, and Fig. 5 is a detail view ot a' corner of the tray and illustrating the hanger rope passages therein.

In the practical application of my invention the saddle or seat 1 has a bug'lih'e shape, is composed of canvas or other suitable fabric, witlrthe upper edge turned into a hem 10 for receiving a stittener rod or ring 11 that forms an upper edge for the saddle. The saddle 1 has two leg openings 12*42, whose edges are reinforced as showii and to add strength to the said saddle, a. reinforcing, crotch band 13 is attached at the ends to the ring hem as is clearly shown in F 1g. 3.

Tin baby saddle or supporting means includes threhanger ropes 2, which have one endfastened to the saddle rim or ring and whose other and upper ends join and are made fast to a spring hookiZO for conveniently suspending the saddle .from an overhead'support, which may be of any approved construction, a simple hanger chain 15 as shown, but'preferably an adjustable supporting means as is fully explainetbby my copendnig application f 16 desig ates a. tray having the usual front ledgefamd" its inner end curved to tit closely againtthe baby. At the opposite ends the said as short slots 17 that erminate. at their lower' inner ends. in ountersunk portions, as is best shown in igs. 4 and?) of the drawing. 7

Tc obtain the advantages of a high chair, it is'only iiit cssary. when the saddle is eleategl, to hold the baby above the floor, to djust the tray in position for use which is readily done by slipping the slotted ends tiereot over the opposite stay or hanger n embers 2--2 in the manner clearly under- 3 of the drawing. and then pi shing the tray down to the position shown in Fig. 2.
